Just had the BEST private G.Wall tour with Danny this Dec '24! As 1st-time visitors, we were nervous about the hike but Danny made it epic. His G.Wall knowledge is next level - dropped history facts + secret spots we'd never find on DIY tours. Pro tip: Book him for sunrise/sunset pics - dude's got legit photography skills! The snow-covered scenery was 🤯 (total Insta gold!). Danny knew all the safe paths despite icy conditions - shoutout for keeping our hike 100% slip-free. Thx to his local connections, we scored hot cocoa & comfy transport RT from Beijing. Most tour groups rush you, but Danny's chill vibe let us savor every moment. 10/10 would rec for couples/solo travelers craving an authentic G.Wall experience without the crowds.

Walking hand in hand with my partner along this stretch of the Great Wall, exploring every corner and discovering the history hidden within its centuries-old stones, made us feel closer than ever. The silence broken only by our laughter and whispers, the cool breeze caressing our cheeks, and the palpable love in the air made this experience at Jinshanling Private Wall an unforgettable and truly special moment for our relationship. I would recommend this experience to any couple looking for a unique and romantic getaway, where they can immerse themselves in the history and beauty of such an iconic place as the Great Wall of China, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Without a doubt, Jinshanling Private Wall in Beijing is the perfect setting for a romantic experience that will remain etched in your heart forever.

Our honeymoon in Beijing with Larry went on the Great Wall Sunset Picnic tour and we were truly surprised! We saw very few tourists the entire time enjoyed "private" time on the wall. Not to mention the sunset views are breathtaking!! Larry is an extremely knowledgeable, funny and helpful tour guide. We can absolutely highly recommend this tour!
